CHRIST COMMANDED us to take care of the have-nots, (that was Sodom and Gomorrah’s true sin by the way!) they deserve quality health care as well. Stop being a one issue Christian!

The idea that healthcare is something we "deserve" is exactly the problem. We should look after each other, but not through a federal mandate. Charity is between people, not through government taxing. The gift without the giver is bare. Charity cannot be exercised through compulsion, or else it is slavery.

As for Soddom & Gomorrah, the men asked Lot to "bring them out unto us, that we may know them." They didn't want to make friends with the angels. Read it again.

Do you really? I know this post is rather dated, but I am a teacher and I was seeking various fact-check sources for my students and I must say yours is about the poorest of all the sites I have found. You have selected only a couple of the many rumors and myths floating about to discuss and your reasons for basically supporting those myths are really not any more substantive than what is provided by unreliable people like Rush and Beck, et. al. I grew up thinking your foundation was a worthy entity of serious research. Maybe you have something better out there somewhere else on your website about health care that I didn't find, but I am not impressed by this post.

I also think it is quite revealing that while say you moderate and approve comments, you allow name-calling and ALL CAPS among your conservative comment makers. Are you simply another agent of conservative misinformation? Have you given up on serious research effort? I am a moderate, not the classic liberal that your readers like to bash. I am not eager for bigger government but I must confess that I am far more concerned about solving problems than spouting ideology. Current Republican behavior appears to be about nothing more than bashing Obama. It has nothing to do with trying to figure out what needs to be done.

Was Bush's Medicare expansion an evil liberal move? It seems counter to normal conservative principles yet I trust that he and the Republican congress at that time carefully determined that it was a necessary move. No Tea Party radicals cried foul on that one – maybe because most of them are old enough to benefit from the changes. Nevertheless, I suspect that had it been Obama proposing such a thing, they would have been calling for his head. Is that reasonable? Are you truly trying to encourage reasonable discussion or just out to provide fuel for the radicals? Please think about that carefully.

Thanks.

Apparently, with a 1 trillion dollar cost of implementing obama style healthcare….government will be forced to CUT costs of certain people and it's not hard to discern who that will be….it's anyone who a select few will deem "unworthy" or "intraccable." Scary. Doctors need more control of what they can do, not more government telling them what to do. Have some respect.
